Origin and history

Saint-Aignan de Blandey Church is a religious monument located in the municipality of Mesnils-sur-Iton, Normandy. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify the period of its construction or the architectural or historical details that might place its origin in time. Parish churches like Saint-Aignan played a central role in the life of Norman rural communities.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for social and religious events. Their presence often reflects the medieval or pre-modern organization of villages, where the church was a geographical and spiritual landmark for the inhabitants.
